Nipples, Lady Bits, and Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is pretty amazing stuff and it wasn’t until after I began my journey towards living a natural lifestyle that I discovered just how multi-functional coconut oil really is.

Us moms have to stick together when it comes to uh, em, “woman issues.” I mean, if you can’t discuss cracked nipples and dried up, worn out lady parts with other moms then who in the heck are you supposed to turn to? I thought that blogland needed someone to break the ice on this subject. So, here I am to the rescue.

Let me tell you… coconut oil will save your cracked and bleeding nipples (from your Dyson vacuum baby, not your overzealous husband). It can make intimacy (with yourself or others) more comfortable. If you have had a baby you know that things don’t exactly grease up the way they used to. Shoot – if you are over 40 you know that things don’t grease up the way they used to.

Here is a quick coconut oil introduction for those of you not yet familiar with this multifaceted product.

It has been used for thousands of years for just about everything in tropical countries.

It is solid until the temperature reaches 76 degrees. Then it liquefies.

Now, about those sore nipples…

Coconut oil is really pretty amazing in helping to quickly heal and then protect damaged and sore nipples. I must warn you that it will stain clothing so you might want to give some consideration to the method I use.

After breastfeeding, soak a cotton ball with coconut oil. If your coconut oil is solid then scoop a little into a glass container and microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up. It works just fine in either a liquid or more solid state so use it whichever way you prefer. I just scoop it out and plop it on the cotton ball.

Place a second cotton ball over the first and then using cloth medical tape, secure the cotton ball (coconut oil side down) onto your nipple and surrounding area. Leave it there until your next breastfeeding session. Repeat. Keep doing this until you and your baby have mastered breastfeeding and/or you are no longer in discomfort and/or your nipples have healed.

Did I mention that coconut oil is TOTALLY safe for baby? So, no need to aggravate your pissed off nipples more by rinsing off other creams. Just rip off gently remove the tape and cotton ball and pop baby on. Voila!

Coconut oil is also great when you have nipple blisters you need to pop. If you have never had one then consider yourself lucky. Most breastfeeding moms will get at least one at some point. These little clearish blisters hurt like no other!!!!

And for the moment you have all been waiting for…(insert Barry White music here)…

Nothing fancy here. Just use it like you would any other lube but without all the added chemicals. Pure, sweet, natural goodness to help things move along. HOWEVER – it’s most important to point out that coconut oil is NOT latex friendly. So … you know the drill. Pull out and pray. Use something other than a latex condom.

In the mood for some coconut oil foreplay fun? Try this recipe on for size:

Love Potion

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1/2 Tbsp honey

1/8 tsp vanilla extract

Combine everything in a small saucepan and heat on low until melted and combined. Pour in a small container immediately, before it cools. What you do with it from there is none of my concern. If you are reading this blog then I am going to assume you know what to do with it. I mean, you all figured out how to make a baby right??? And for the record, this stuff makes an awesome lip balm. (The ones on your face. Sheesh – you are a bunch of pervy mamas!)

Now – go out immediately and get yourself some coconut oil.

I loved your post about coconut oil and the humorous flair you added! I too love coconut oil and use it inside and on my body. Does wonders for body and face skin. It also helps you lose weight! Yep. That’s right. The liver converts it to energy and its not turned to fat! I definitely feel the energy boost after I take my coconut oil!

My friend swears by this as a lube so I went out and bought some, but have since used it for other things. Namely as an aftershave balm for around the lady bits. It has done wonders for the itch and any razor burn I might have. I’m looking forward to trying out some of your other uses.

Bwahahah I love a lady with a sense of humor! But today I used coconut oil as a “lotion” on my 1 week newborn son… Gave him his first bath and remembered from my last child that baby lotion is to harsh on their skin at this age (my daughter became red an bumpy lol). So I decided to use CO and to my surprise it cleared his baby acne up!! So decided to do some research and came across your blog now, and I see why it totally makes sense! I already used CO on my hair and skin, big never thought about it for nipple cream (which I will be trying because my Tits are on FIRE at the moment). So anywho thanks for this post 🙂

Love this post! You answered a question I’ve been trying to find the answer to. Coconut oil and sore breasfeeding nipples. I’m about to be a new mom and am soooo not looking forward to that tid bit and have super sensitive skin so would much rather use coconut oil. And I can second your coconut oil as lube trick. Works great 😉
